About this property

A charming semi-detached stone cottage on an elevated site overlooking the pretty Victorian spa town of Strathpeffer, in the Scottish Highlands. This well-presented and most comfortable cottage would suit a small family or a couple who will simply love the quiet and convenient location of this cottage. Originally built as a farmworkers cottage, Rose Cottage has quite a bit of history and a lot of character. At ground floor level the spacious sitting room leads through to a well-equipped and homely dining room and kitchen with a door that leads to a rear hallway with an external side door. Make your way down the path and into the little sun room, away from it, just you and a good book! The shower room and first single bedroom are also on the ground floor with a further two cottage style bedrooms on the upper floor. Strathpeffer is a popular holiday venue due to its great central location as from here visitors can head west to the Isle of Skye and explore the fabulous west coast villages or perhaps head into Inverness, just 18 miles away, and savour the delights of the city. Alternatively, why not take a trip around famous Loch Ness with a visit to the world-famous Urquhart Castle and dolphin spotting at Rosemarkie Beach being a short drive away. However staying closer to your highland cottage is also a great idea and a lovely woodland walk starts right on your doorstep. For golfers, a course is just a short walk away and fishermen have excellent local opportunities too. Strathpeffer attracts many visitors, especially during the summer months when the local pipe band come out to play and entertain the visitors. This is a great holiday location and this welcoming stone cottage ticks all the boxes. EPC Rating: Band F

Often compared to a Bavarian Mountain resort, the picturesque spa village of Strathpeffer owes its growth to the discovery of water springs during the 1700s, and was declared in 1819 to be the healthiest drinking water in Britain! The original Spa Pavilion has been magnificently restored after a period of disuse and now serves as a venue for a variety of events, including concerts, dances, dramas and exhibitions.

    Great localisation. We spent nice family holidays, very relaxing. We would happily to back to Rose Cottage.

  • Shona

    There was a welcome card and a box of shortbread on our arrival a lovely gesture. It was a good base to travel and see a few places on the NC500, would definitely recommend this host.

    The building has serious damp and/or sewage/drain leakage. The property smells terrible and the owner knows this but has continued to list it. The owner said it was a "wee smell" or a bit of spilt milk, which was clearly not true. The smell was so bad that we couldn't eat in the kitchen and had to have all windows and doors open when we were in, no matter what the weather. The damp and smell could be a health hazard for anyone with breathing difficult. Do not rent out this property.
